Bo Weavil Jackson
Bo Weavil Jackson (dates and places of birth and death unknown, real name said to be James Butler), was an African-American blues singer and guitarist. Some sources claim he was born in Birmingham, Alabama.[1]
He recorded as one of the first country bluesmen in 1926 for the Paramount and Vocalion labels, on the latter under the name of Sam Butler.[1] His 78 rpm records are highly sought by collectors and have been numerously re-released on LP and CD compilation albums.
His recordings have been published in both notation and tablature forms, which has enabled contemporary detailed study of his style and technique.[1]
